Christophe (LDJ HS) : It is sometimes said of a man that he becomes more calm or he gets older, and I think of dreams that one have when being child or teenager, dreams of a magnificent life, the one of a cinema star and all this, and most of them have mediocre lives afterwards

@Legal Drugs

Eric (LDJ HS) : It deals with legal drugs and the hypocrisy of the society towards illegal drugs. In fact, it's a whole economic system on which they can make profit. Smoking soft drugs, from an extreme point of view, isn't dangerous for health, I mean, there is no death on the contrary to alcohol. Hence, there is a problem. It helps too to leave aside a part of the population generally youngs in illegal grounds. Thierry (LDJ HS) : There is something that can sum up and is said in the song the cops are drunk all the time long ! Eric (SMA#3) : I don't think there is a reason to fight against soft drugs. On the contrary, I think we should fight to have the haschich freely in France and outside. As far as hard drugs are concerned, it's a bit the same problem as alcohol. I can hardly talk about it because I've never taken this, but I think that the problems related to drugs are more society problems. As there are people who regularly drink alcohol without being alcoholic, there are people who can take drugs without being junkies and killing themselves.

@Bad News From The Heart

Down in the streets Or on the seaside Watch all these girls Watch and watch But never ever touch All these instant love Through the eyes All these frustration Deep inside Hidden behind the smiles No way to live without love The motor of the world But every day we can hear Bad news from the heart The rules of the game The speech and beauty The art of lying Or join the loosers Waiting on the sidelines These girls avoid you And you know why The jealous and envy They drive you mad And you're looking for fight No way to live without love The motor of the world But every day we can hear Bad news from the heart Christophe (LDJ HS) : It's a song about love ! The relations between men and women. The worst cliche is that everybody aspire to love more or less openly and yet it makes people suffer the most

@Little Kiddy

Christophe (LDJ HS) : A song about childs, the little ones. I like little childs, because they come out very cool, natural, without taboos, but with an educational system, they're taught to get in line, to become responsible adults

@Bulgarian Blues

This is the story Of Jack the rabbit Black and crazy Jumping and kidding Having fun in the fields We came in this world Met a bishop Shouting one's head off "Bow before God" But Jack Only believed in rabbit Listen to this Bulgarian blues A story that means nothing In a garage Of an unknown city Started the trial Of Jack the rabbit For his insult Of the bishop Before this scene Like a Dali painting Jack started laughing Like a fool And the verdict Was death sentence Listen to this Bulgarian blues A story that means nothing Hey Jack it's your turn You are before guns The judge was blinkered He said that you were A threat To law and order But for me you're not dead And you jump un my head You are the reason The reason for my fear You're the reason For my rage Listen to this Bulgarian blues A story that means nothing Eric (LDJ HS) : I've started from the theme of the Bulgarian yoghourt, on a hyper-realistic story, it means nothing indeed ! A little like the Lewis Caroll story : a rabbit a bit dumb which comes to earth and meet a bishop who tell him : "kneel to God" and he answers "I don't care, I only believe in rabbits" and then he is judged and shot.

@Chess And Crimes

Christophe (LDJ HS) : The poor people always die under bombs ... it's always on the people who have a hard life, the proletarians who are smashed in the face. It's the same for wars where they are cannon fodder. And really often, even those who, for any ideology consider people as martyrs, use them in the same way, even people willing to have an independent state (would do this).

@See You Soon

In our van On the road Drive away From these electric holidays It's so hard Leaving you Coming home But even the best things end As they say You're far from us now all the friends we met But Still watch the same moon when we hang around at night Warmy Greeks Crazy Swiss Heat of Spain Thanks for all the fun That we had Memories And the hope See you soon We help us to stand Our daily life You're far from us now all the friends we met But Still watch the same moon when we hang around at night Eric (LDJ HS) : It's a song about the tour, the road. We came back from a tour in Switzerland, where we had fun, and on Sunday we were coping with a day in the truck, Geneve-Angers, a devilish line Bourges, Vierzon, Moulin and it's the kind of situation where you're depressed, only Eric was glad to come back to Angers otherwise it's the end of the holidays.
